[quote=USA Today]He's already in the biggest movie so far this year. So how else is Captain America celebrating turning 75? By getting a new statue in his beloved hometown.

Right after the "Hail Hydra" fiasco? Sheesh.

[QUOTE=Disgruntled;50652225]Right after the "Hail Hydra" fiasco? Sheesh.[/QUOTE] It's Marvel, give it a month or two before they reveal Cap was a double agent.

[QUOTE=LTJGPliskin;50652239]It's Marvel, give it a month or two before they reveal Cap was a double agent.[/QUOTE] Already happened.

It feels like Captain America is gonna be immortalized as our era's mythology in the distant future.

[QUOTE=LTJGPliskin;50652239]It's Marvel, give it a month or two before they reveal Cap was a double agent.[/QUOTE] The issue right after the reveal of Hydra gave the reason as to why Cap said that. It being [sp] Red Skull manipulated a sentient cosmic cube to give Cap false memories of joining Hydra. [/sp]

countdown until someone graffitis it.

Fuck it. Cap's got my vote.

This reminds me what ever happened to that RoboCop statue?

[QUOTE=LTJGPliskin;50652239]It's Marvel, give it a month or two before they reveal Cap was a double agent.[/QUOTE] Even if they had not revealed, it was obvious as fuck that was gonna happen.

[QUOTE=genpung;50653013]This reminds me what ever happened to that RoboCop statue?[/QUOTE] It's almost done, according to their last [url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/imaginationstation/detroit-needs-a-statue-of-robocop/posts/1585138]backer update[/url].

Im sure it'll be cool and all, but why specifically his MCU design? You'd think a celebration of a character with 75 years of history would use [url=http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/marveldatabase/images/b/b3/Captain_America_Vol_4_1.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110607030037]the most iconic one. [/url]

it's gonna be crowded as fuck during aug 10 so i'll try to take some pictures a few days after can't help but feel a bit of solidarity seeing as how i'm also a kid from brooklyn

They should have thrown in Hitler too, imo. [IMG]http://static3.comicvine.com/uploads/scale_large/11/117763/2677627-captainamericacomics01.jpg[/IMG]

I'm going to make a pilgrimage once it's done, this is just too awesome

but Cap is originally from Lower East Side, why are they using the MCU version of the character to celebrate 75 years of him in comic books?

[QUOTE=ElectronicG19;50656828]but Cap is originally from Lower East Side, why are they using the MCU version of the character to celebrate 75 years of him in comic books?[/QUOTE] Because most of the fans that are around now are more familiar with the MCU and probably haven't read more than a handful of comics in their lives. It's basically just knowing their audience.

[QUOTE=ElectronicG19;50656828]but Cap is originally from Lower East Side, why are they using the MCU version of the character to celebrate 75 years of him in comic books?[/QUOTE] and 616 rogers became a hydra agent for 2 seconds to use headlines to boost sales your point?
